Than a dozen candidates and interviewing at least eight of them this weekend. President trump said we could have an appointment by friday before heading on his first foreign trip as president. This is happening as the administration is trying to put out a fire storm after james comays ousting. White house counselor Kellyanne Conway said that is not the ca case. Independent of that, his Deputy Attorney general who oversees the fbi, thats his job, he came to that conclusion on his own and made the recommendation. Now, i would also point out that everyone is saying james comey was investigating. No, he wasnt. The fbi was investigating and they will continue to investigate. Laura we have Fox Team Coverage on all of this. Caroline shively is in washington with the latest on north korea. First we go to kevin on the north lawn and we have heard the president would like to fill the post at the fbi by friday. What is the hurry . I think a couple of things. They feel this is a position they can fill with relative ease and find a very highly qualified candidate. In fact, you can make a plausible argument that whittling down the field is probably going to be the most difficult part has as i show you the names and faces weve already talked about, we are talking of some of the most highly qualified specialists in this area. Big names include fran townsend, mike rogers, himself a former fbi agent and he has also been endorsed by a group of former and current fbi agents. For his part, the president spent his saturday delivering his very first commencement address at liberty university. He said this shouldnt take a great deal of time to whittle down. Before you leave before saturdays departure. These are outstanding people who are very well known. Before the trip next week . Even that is possible. Sources tell fox news its unlikely the president will look for someone who comes from a specific or strictly political background. Likely he will draw on someone who has experience from the Intelligence Community specifically and maybe someone who can say theyve done a bit of both. Laura some from capitol hill are floating their own ideas about who they think might be a good person to lead the fbi. What are you hearing. You want someone who is not just highly qualified. Lawmakers will tell you you want someone who is not just qualified, but passable and that means apolitical as best you can manage that. One name thats been tossed out, its completely counterintuitive but its a name that people are talking about and that is merrick garland. Chief judge merrick garland. Remember him, nominated for the supreme court. He never got an up or down vote. There are some who feel he would be a great compromise candidate. The outcome of investigations should not have partisan affiliation. I think in this instance there are a lot of options available. Merrick garland would be a good option given that he could have so much support from both sides of the aisle. I wouldgly urge the administration to pick someone who is apolitical. One of the heightened responsibilities we will have is making sure that whoever comes in, this investigation goes on unimpeded. Make no mistake about it, garland would be a very longshot, but keep in mind there are a number of lawmakers on the hill who feel that because he is apolitical, he would be able to maintain the integrity of the investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 election campaign. By the way, for those of you keeping track, it ended six months ago. Laura we know it will be an interesting week right where you are paired new details on the north Korean Missile launch. U. S. Officials telling fox news the regime appears to have fired what is known as a cayenne 17 ballistic missile. Experts believe north korea would use this particular missile to target ships. It is also important to point out this was the first weapons test since the new south korean president took office. The north has conducted at least two dozen tests over the past year. At least seven of those failed. This latest test appears to have sunk the idea of the u. S. Speaking with north korea. Nikki haley says the u. S. Cannot let up. I think you have to get into kim jonguns head. He is in a state of paranoia. He is concerned about anything and everything around him. This was a message to south korea after the election and what we will do is tighten the screws. He feels it. We will continue whether it sanctions, press statements, anything we have to do. Laura Caroline Shively is live in washington. If this is a Medium Range Missile, what damage can it do . It can do some definite damage. Within the last hour, the news agency said the aim was to verify that the missile could carry a large Scale Nuclear warhead and they are calling it a success. There is what u. S. Officials say. It is a single stage liquid fueled missile, not the solid fuel missile that was tested back in february. That caused more concern for pentagon officials. It was in the air for roughly 30 minutes and traveled about 430 miles according to the south korean military. A Medium Range Missile can go further but this had a very high trajectory. The u. S. Officials that it splashed down in the seas 60 miles south of russia and 25. It could not have reached the u. S. But the statement, just out from the north reaffirms it is one of kim jonguns main goals for his nuclear program. Dan sullivan of alaska said he plans to introduce legislation next week that authorizes groundbased interceptors to be lined up in alaska and california. That is a third more than the u. S. Has right now. We know the u. S. Is pushing back on north korea. Weve been reporting. What about the rest of the International Community . China and russia both said they were concerned about the launch, but it was a pretty tepid response. Not the u. S. Though. They seem to be pushing countries in the region to get tougher. What we do know is the International Community is concerned. Its not just us against them. You will see the entire International Community isolate north korea and let them know this is not acceptable. The Un Security Council will hold urgent meetings on the test this tuesday. The u. S. , japan and south korea all asked for the meeting. They have adopted tough sanctions but they dont appear to be slowing kim jongun down. Ambassador haley said more sanctions could be on the way and the potential meeting between kim jongun and President Trump, not happening. Having a missile test is not the way to sit down with the president. He absolutely wont do it. He can say all the conditions he wants. Until he meets our conditions we arent sitting down with him. Laura you mention the timing just days after the south korean president came into office. It also comes as the u. S. And japanese navies have come together for wargames in the south pacific. Laura we have a lot to talk about. Lets bring in kevin rudd who joins us by phone. He is the former Prime Minister of australia and president of the asia policy institute. Thank you for being with us. Do you think the response from the Trump Administration is going to be effective enough to calm the situation down . How do you think our allies will help handle this with diplomacy . Remember the key objective is to bring about a change in north korean behavior. Everything else is a sound and light show. The bottom line is what can you do to bring about a change in behavior. The outcome of the maralago meeting was for the two sides to work on a common diplomatic strategy to bring about that change in north korea. So far, without result as youve just discussed with the most recent missile test, but from chinas perspective, this missile test by the north korean is the least welcomed development. It sends a direct signal to the newly elected president of south korea less than a week ago that the North Koreans are in a belligerent mood. From chinas perspective in beijing, it was a major global conference hosted here yesterday on a big infrastructure conference. Who upsets the party but the guy next door. He doesnt do a lot in terms of improving chinas sense of humor about what the north Korean Leader is up too. President trump has been calling for Even Stronger sanctions and even though the u. S. Is applying pressure, we have north korea writing a letter to the congress complaining about these sanctions. What does that tell us . The bottom line is the north korean diplomatic behavior has a history of being all over the place. Sometimes it is harsh. I dont think its anything that anyone in the United States should take terribly seriously. The bottom line is people watch their behavior and the missile test is an action by the North Koreans which is by definition belligerent. Lets not get distracted from the core action which is what is the United States doing with the chinese to bring about substantial change in north korean behavior . The key to this, if there is further sanctions and whether that would include the supply of oil from china to north korea. This is the core point of leverage. North korea depends on china oil to keep their economy running. This is the point at which china leverage would begin to have an impact. Laura i wanted to ask you about a report that was out today. Congress is weighing options for bolstering sanctions against north korea by increasing the missiles on the west coast. This recent missile came 60 miles off russia. These fall into three categories. Short range which can work for them across the parallel with south korea, medium range which would affect japan and american deployments in guam, and longrange missiles or intercontinental missiles which could reach alaska and the u. S. West coast. The North Koreans have been testing the first two sets of categories of that and that in of itself is destabilizing. The core question is, i understand the debate in the u. S. That there are antiMissile Defense. That is a normal reaction to what the North Koreans are doing and irrational reason but if they require a large number of missiles, and they already have a large number of bombs, if they are able to militarize those Nuclear Weapons and have a large stock, the danger for all of us in the United States and the u. S. Allies in the region is that they have a large number and they can overwhelm a Missile Defense system so there is a race against capability and the number of missiles as well. Laura kevin rudd is right in the middle of everything in china. Thank you for joining us with your perspective. Thank you.

For stephanie oswald, this is her first without her son andrew. Despite rehab, he died alone in his apartment from a heroine overdose. Its not the kind of things parents would usually include in their childhoo obituary but stee did. On january 27, 2017, our beautiful son andrew died from a heroin overdose. He was 23 years old. No parent should ever have to bury their child. More parents are using stark candor in their childs obituary about heroin addiction to reach out to families struggling in silence, feeling shame and embarrassment. People have to stop seeing it as a dirty little secret. Its everywhere. The more people who are honest about whats going on out there, the more attention it can get. Andrews addiction began after being prescribed oxycodone after a car accident. Stephanie said she was hesitant at first about being so public. Since he had kept it such a secret to all of his friends here, i feel like i outed him in a way. It was momentary, but i still felt that. The obituary had an impact immediately. Strangers, other parents who lost kids to addiction came to his funeral to support and thank the oswald for their courage. I wont stop talking. If i have to yell i will. Whatever it takes, im going to keep moving this thing forward. Incredible courage from stephanie. His obituary also included a reminder that addiction does not discriminate.
